-It is now confirmed that 1990s (or just 90s) were almost definitely the best decade in recent written [history](history.md), at least in [Europe](europe.md) (the main continent of [Earth](earth.md)) but to a degree probably also in other, less significant parts of the world ([USA](usa.md) etc.). They were the peak of civilization before the [collapse](collapse.md) quickly brought by the [21st century](21st_century.md). 90s still left behind some echoes during the years 2000-2010 -- according to some still a bearable decade -- however it was already going downhill at the time. 90s followed the [80](80s)s (quite logically, at least to those of above Trump intellect), a decade that was itself also pretty good, and so in a similar fashion some good old 80s vibes carried on to the 90s.

-During the 90s [millennials](millennial.md) (also called gen Y) were born. The decade was characterized for example by sagging trousers, loose and torn clothes in general, jeans and hoodies, baseball caps turned backwards, vibrant colors, optimistic and cheerful mood, [real life](irl.md) friends and sleepovers, [Tamagotchi](tamagotchi.md) and [Pokemon](pokemon.md), cool [digital](digital.md) watches (non-smart), [GameBoy](gameboy.md), [CRT](crt.md) monitors, [floppy](floppy.md) disks, ball [mice](mouse.md), archaic Internet and [web](www.md) 1.0 through slow dial-up, cassette tapes and walkmans { is it walkmans or walkmen lol? ~drummyfish }, bizarre button cellphones, phone boots in streets, boybands, MTV music, movies on [VHS](vhs.md) (and VHS rental stores), soulful non-[furry](furry.md) cartoons aired only early on Saturday mornings and many other wonderful things.

 So, from the European point of view, here is a short summary of why 90s were so good:
 
 - Cold war just ended, [Soviet Union](ussr.md) dissolved and so came a relief from the nuclear war threat, people got relaxed and, importantly, many countries previously under pseudocommunist totalitarian regimes gained freedom from it and opened to the world. This created a very rare and brief moment in time when people were freed from an oppressive regime but [capitalism](capitalism.md) didn't have yet enough time to enslave them again -- people still kept the good things from (at least what was called) socialism such as 100% free education, 100% free healthcare, old age pensions, free public toilets and so on. They also kept the socialist mindset of caring about others, people didn't see others as their enemies, they were kind of caring and had some empathy, they knew [money](money.md) was evil etc. The newly gained freedom gave people a lot of joy and hope. 21st century would of course changed this very soon, capitalism would go on to destroy absolutely everything in under about 20 years, Europe would be joined to the USA and by now everything is lost.
-- A lot of amazing [art](art.md) came to existence -- although [proprietary](proprietary.md), it could at least be said that it was well done, had [soul](soul.md) and people took some time to make it. For example movies, games and music were made by people who knew how to make movies, games and music, so we saw things such as Pulp Fiction, Jurassic Park, Forrest Gump, Linkin Park, [Pokemon](pokemon.md) (the original non-gay ones), [Harry Potter](harry_potter.md), Simpsons (the peak seasons), South Park, [Tamagotchis](tamagotchi.md), Jim Carrey comedies and much more. Computer games at this time had absolutely peak aesthetics in the whole history of Universe (and they were also released as a completely [finished](finished.md) product, as a physical thing you would buy and literally OWN forever from then on). Even things back then considered trash, such as Britney Spears, don't literally make you bleed from your ears and in comparison with today's "best music" sound like angel choirs.

 - In [computer](computer.md) [technology](tech.md) world some very important things were made, besides others [Linux](linux.md) (1991), [World Wide Web](www.md) (well almost -- 1989), [gopher](gopher.md) (1993), all the legendary Boomer Shooters -- [Wolf3D](wolf3d.md) (1992), [Doom](doom.md) (1993), [Duke Nukem 3D](duke3d.md) (1996), [Quake](quake.md) (1996), Quake II and III, Half Life (1998) etcetc., [GameBoy Color](gbc.md) (1998), [PS1](ps1.md) (1995), [N64](n64.md) (1994) etcetc. In 1997 a computer named [Deep Blue](deep_blue.md) first beat the world [chess](chess.md) champion. Even the versions of [Windows](windows.md) from this time are considered the most bearable ones.

There were only normal people around. It wasn't even normal to be fat or have 20 mental diseases, people were just normal. Just image it, you walk the street and there are no monsters, not on TV, not on the Internet, not anywhere! { NOTE: Let us be reminded that [we](lrs.md) love everyone, including gays, transsexuals, furries, autists, Nazis, simply all living beings. This is a criticism of trends in society, not "hate speech" against any individual -- please see the difference between saying that one dislikes hordes of freaks all around and for example promoting genocide or bullying those people. You may dislike salty food but still be OK with it existing and you may even like salty food but dislike food that has 10 kg of salt in it or promoting putting salt in chocolate. ~drummyfish }
 - No [Facebook](facebook.md), [Twitter](twitter.md), [TikTok](tiktok.md), [Discord](discord.md), [Steam](steam.md), [Reddit](reddit.md), [YouTube](youtube.md), Twitch, no [smartphones](smartphone.md), actually no "[smart](smart.md)" devices AT ALL, no "[apps](app.md)", [Elon Musk](elon_musk.md), no [Google](google.md), no [Android](android.md), no [JavaScript](javascript.md), no [HTTPS](https.md), no [Flash](flash.md), no [docker](docker.md), no [cmake](cmake.md), no [Rust](rust.md), no [Apple](apple.md) (in Europe), no "spy assistants", no [Minecraft](minecraft.md), no Roblox, no [Wikipedia](wikipedia.md), no [crypto](crypto.md), no [NFT](nft.md)s, no [AI](ai.md) shit and much more. Imagine the paradise.
 - No one cared about [privacy](privacy.md) at all! Literally there was ZERO concern about it, you could share all your private data publicly, passwords were sent in plain text, no one would even think of abusing it, there was even no way of doing it basically.
@@ -19,13 +19,13 @@ So, from the European point of view, here is a short summary of why 90s were so
 - Computer technology wasn't such a big milking cow yet, mainstream Internet was just starting, many didn't care about it, so it was very relaxed, [corporations](corporation.md) weren't yet raping everyone. For example [copy protection](drm.md) was usually laughably easy to break, pirating was easy and everyone did it -- it was correctly considered extremely stupid to buy something (nowadays brainwashing has already done its thing). Also games had practically no anti[cheating](cheating.md), chat censorship and similar BS, [trolling](trolling.md) was allowed and cool.
 - People in the streets weren't zombies staring into spyphones -- literally imagine you walk outside and people observe what's happening around them.
 - There was a relatively high [freedom of speech](free_speech.md), no one gave a single shit about [political correctness](political_correctness.md) (no one even knew that term) and people in post-soviet countries actually saw freedom of speech as an achievement that many died for and which they previously only dreamed of, they valued it greatly -- [censorship](censorship.md) was still considered highly undesirable by majority of people.
-- [Toxic](toxic.md) [US](us.md) culture still hadn't made it to Europe so people weren't obsessed with [productivity](productivity_cult.md), shooting up schools, [tattoos](tattoo.md), self interest and other shit.
+- [Toxic](toxic.md) [US](usa.md) culture still hadn't made it to Europe so people weren't obsessed with [productivity](productivity_cult.md), shooting up schools, [tattoos](tattoo.md), self interest and other shit.
 - Zero crime, no [fear culture](fear_culture.md).
 - If you bought something it would definitely last more than a week -- actually much longer, even 10, 20 or 30 years.
 - Furthermore if something broke, it could easily be repaired, sometimes even by yourself. There were even people who specialized in repairing TVs and radios for example.
 - Professionals actually knew something about their profession, you could trust that if someone did something for living, he'd be kind of good at it. As a result things were generally of good quality, including for example movie dubbings and subtitles (nowadays it's standard that subtitles are made by people who cannot read or write or even talk at all), news, books, electronics, tools etc.
 - ALL computers had [CRT](crt.md)s!
-- People talked normally, there was no newspeak bullshit! The "issue" of politically correct pronouns didn't exist, such insanity would be seen as completely ridiculous, "he" was the default pronoun, everyone said "mankind", "spokesman", no one had an issue with it. If someone just mentioned that a pronoun can be "offensive" he would be probably be immediately put in a mental asylum.

 - There was absolute minimum of [ads](marketing.md) and they were somewhat bearable, not 100% aggressive brainwashing -- some even naively tried to pleasant and brings some actual art in. You could see a movie, then there would be two or three ads and another movie would follow, and that was on a commercial station, state TV had basically zero ads.
 - [Internet](internet.md) was actually good and free of idiots, it was elitist and only for nerds with no life. [Web](www.md) was young, only 1.0, all sites were nice, lightweight, non-commercial. [Gopher](gopher.md) was just as popular.
 - [Programming](programming.md) and IT was still cool and didn't make you wanna kill yourself -- [C](c.md) was used a lot, game developers wrote their own [engines](game_engine.md), webmasters actually wrote [HTML](html.md) and so on.

 - Cell phones, although proprietary, were quite awesome, especially those by [Nokia](nokia.md) and [Siemens](siemens.md). They were all button dumbphones, each with very unique design, the phones were very durable, fast, reliable and lasted even weeks on single charge.
 - [Women](woman.md) were still women and men were men back then.
 - Many fewer cars, you could cross the road without waiting 15 to 30 minutes. Usually a family had only one car and some even lived happily without a car.
-- Everything was much more normal, people didn't self harm, only criminals had [tattoos](tattoo.md), depression was rare, kids played outside, climbed trees, even reading books, people got married, divorce still wasn't normal, plastic surgery was performed only in extreme cases on burn victims, people didn't desire working themselves to death, people were nice to the elderly and valued their wisdom, the elderly weren't absolute assholes, shop assistants weren't 100% scary robotic entities, even people in businesses would sometimes -- even if naively -- have other goals that pure profit.

 - There were no witchhunts on [pedophiles](pedophilia.md), people weren't so brainwashed to not see the difference between nudity and porn, there were movies with naked children, photos of naked children in books and magazines, no problem. People still knew that seeing a child PP won't make you into a serial child rapist -- this brainwashing only came later on from the US.
-- Movies were shot on film instead of shitty digital.
+- Movies were shot on film instead of [shitty](shit.md) [digital](digital.md).
 - Grass was much greener and sky more blue.
 - When you went abroad for that rare vacation sometimes there would be maybe 5 other tourists but not 20 billion of them, you would also see no Starbucks or similar Yankee shit, you genuinely just went to a foreign country, not to Disneyland, you really saw a foreign culture.
 - Also the world wasn't yet so globalized, people knew their neighbors, countries and individual village still had their own culture, everything was diverse because Internet still wasn't mainstream and the Earth wasn't collectively owned by 3 gigacorporations.
